Chelsea recorded a decisive win at St. Andrew's, beating Birmingham City 2-0.
The visiting Blues easily could've tallied four or five goals, but they settled for two. It wasn't their greatest performance, but it was definitely a step in the right direction.
It was a dull match from start to finish, but Chelsea persevered and advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals with this win.
Chelsea learned a lot about themselves in this match, and they have some lessons they can move forward with. I have compiled a list of my reactions to the match, focusing on Chelsea.
